Mom Shares Insightful Reason You Should “Always Take Your Kid To Birthday Parties That They’re Invited To”

Life can get pretty busy, especially when you have kids. Between school events, extracurricular activities, and friends, it can get exhausting. It can be easy to understand why parents don’t want to go to every single birthday party their kid gets an invitation for. With so little time, this can often be the last thing you want to spend your time doing.

That said, a mom named Chelsea Fisher makes a good argument for why parents should think differently. In fact, she tells parents to “always take your kids to birthday parties they’re invited to.” Learn more about why Chelsea is so adamant about this in the video below.

“I never want to experience the heartbreak of my kids not having anyone show up at their birthday party,” Chelsea writes in the caption of her post. “Plus as parents we know how much time, effort and money goes into planning and hosting a party. Sacrifice the afternoon and take your kids!”

While some may disagree, Chelsea continues to get positive reactions to her strong opinion. In fact, a number of parents attest that it seems more common than ever for a kid to have no one show up for their birthday party. How sad is that!? So, while it may be an inconvenience at times, you never know if showing up will leave a lasting impact.

“I always tell myself that I’m responsible for their social life/social ability. I don’t want to be a barrier for my kids!” one commenter writes, another adding, “This was me yesterday! Almost didn’t go, glad we did [because] we were the only ones that showed up.”
